How To Find And Open All The Mimic Chests In Nioh:

There are two mimic chests in Nioh, both the mimic chests are located in the side mission known as ‘A Request from Ginchyo’. Once you are in the mission, you will be able to start looking for the chests.

Mimic Chest #1:

During your play through of the mission, you will come across the temple stairs. Near the temple stairs, there will be an enemy that is guarding the entrance to a building. Defeat the enemy and head inside. Once inside, you should be able to locate the chest at the back of the building. When you locate and open the chest, you must perform the gesture called ‘That’s Not Good’. This will allow you to loot the chest, without any conflict.

Mimic Chest #2:

The second chest is close to the first one. Once you reach the temple, go towards the left side of the alter, and you will come across the second mimic chest. To open this chest without having to fight the mirror image, players will have to perform the ‘Clap’ gesture.
